It was only cramp – Suarez allays injury fears

Luis Suarez played down concerns he reinjured his knee after limping off during Uruguay’s 0-0 draw with Argentina in World Cup qualifying.

Having surprisingly overcome a knee problem to take his place in Uruguay’s starting XI, there was an anxious moment for Ernesto Valverde and Barcelona as Suarez was forced from the field in Montevideo on Thursday.

Suarez – who had been sidelined since Barca’s Supercopa de Espana second-leg loss to Real Madrid on August 16 – dropped to the ground clutching his knee in pain with seven minutes remaining before he was replaced.

However, Suarez used social media to allay fears of another injury following the stalemate against Barca team-mate Lionel Messi and Argentina.
